Get Out of
the Dollar: Here Comes the
Amero

by Michael Chapdelaine

02/05/09

I enjoyed playing tennis as
I often do with my short-time friend, who I’ll call Ed on Sunday morning,
February 1st. I change his name
and refrain from divulging too many details about him to keep him out of
jeopardy.

Between rallies, Ed and I
regularly converse; sometimes I gratefully listen as Ed offers instruction
and advice related to tennis, and at other times we talk about
weightier topics. I knew Ed to be an accomplished and well-traveled fellow
that is full of good observations and thoughtful opinions.

Amidst putting racket to
ball, we began chatting about the state of the economy, leading me to
comment on the state of a certain European economy; Ed is a European by
birth. The topic shifted to European demographics and cultural suicide, to
the
global population dilemma, to
fossil fuel and resource depletion, and then to business prospects in
“green” technologies. I was impressed by his depth and breadth of
knowledge.

After previously saying he
was not at liberty to elaborate on a prior point related to a business
venture, Ed then said as he approached the net to gather a stray ball,
“Hey, here’s a piece of insider information that’ll blow your mind.”

Interested, I headed to meet
him in the middle. I prodded, “Oh yeah, what is that?” I had a bit of
skepticism, as increasingly, less and less “blows my mind” these days.

Ed continued, “The [U.S.]
dollar is going to be destroyed. They’re going to replace it with what’s
called the amero.”

“Yeah, I know,” I concurred,
“I’ve heard of that.” For the reader who is unaware, the name “amero” is
that which is given to the unifying currency for those nations occupying
the North American continent, specifically, Canada, the United States, and
Mexico. The amero is based on the idea of the
euro, the common
currency in the European Union.

My friend went on, as though
I didn’t get it, “It [the amero] already exists. They’re trading in it
now.”

I queried, “No shit?”

Ed nodded as he gave
council, “Get out of the dollar; they’re going to let it completely
devalue.”

“Gold?” was my supposition
for safe haven.

Ed agreed, saying “yeah,
gold is great.”

Saying goodbye to Canadian
dollars, American dollars, and Mexican pesos is not the sole objective.
Adopting the amero is a step subsequent to the
North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) foretelling something even more sinister, the end of the
United States. Our sovereignty and the last vestiges of economic autonomy
will be gone, the republic formally dissolved. In its place: the
North American Union (NAU).
In the confines of the NAU, bureaucracy will rein, citizens subjugated,
cultures erased, and ecosystems pillaged without opposition.

Now, the amero and NAU are
not necessarily news to many patriots. In fact, it has been lazily
covered by mainstream media. For instance, former Mexican president
Vicente Fox, while appearing on CNN’s Larry King Live
on
October 8, 2007, acknowledged the plan for a singular North American
currency, referring to his and President Bush’s support for the
Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).
He called it a “first step” toward “a new vision” for the Americas, “like
we are trying to do with NAFTA.”

The significance of my story
is that it is personal; further confirmation of the amero from an
insider. Until that day, I had held to hope that it was rumor and
misperception.

I offered, “Ed, I’ve got to
get you on my show!”

He seemed a little unnerved,
asking, “What show?” I had never told Ed about my own activist site, so I
gave him an overview of Truth Alert.

He continued, “No, no, I
couldn’t do that. The people I work for wouldn’t like it. They’d be like
‘what the fuck are doing, man?’”

I returned to the baseline
and we rallied again. As we took a break and headed for the bench, I
asked, “Well, who do you work for?”

With a bit of hesitation he
answered, “The EEDC.” My eyes probably widened despite the brightness of
the morning Sun.

Onward went our comparative
observations. As Ed described it, “we’re already in a depression.” I
agreed and carried it further. He concurred with my analysis of the
drivers of the
emerging police state, even going so far as to advocate positioning
oneself away from big cities as a sensible move for “when the riots hit.”

We shared a laugh at the
gullible masses who voted for Barack Obama and his promise of “change”.
With half his administration coming from the Bush camp and the other half
from the Clinton camp, it’s really a scumbag-all-star team. We agreed that
there is no change, only reaffirmation of the status quo and the corporate
takeover of government. Meanwhile, advocates of true change – like
Ron Paul and
Ralph Nader – struggle to be taken
seriously.

Federal Government action in
response to the credit crisis and attendant economic upheaval makes
sense in light of their willingness to devalue the dollar. They’ll
recklessly inject trillions of dollars into the system because they don’t
plan on maintaining the currency.

As we transitioned our
discussion further, I grumbled, “The problem is that government is just a
criminal enterprise with legal cover.”
